“Tony, you look like you're itching somewhere. Do you want me to give you a
scratch?” Shirley playfully taunted.
“Uncle Zacharias, Uncle Zacharias, you better control your future wife! She's
threatening me.” Tony immediately hid behind Zacharias while chuckling. Shirley
was left speechless.
But Zacharias was in a good mood. “She wouldn't punish you if you hadn't
provoked her?”
Tony immediately said, “I knew that you two would be on each other's side. What
am I even doing here?”
“You're becoming more and more unruly!” Shirley remarked angrily with her
hands on her hips. Tony finally stopped joking. Still, he had put a lot of effort into
making Zacharias marry Shirley.
Zacharias had never noticed any lovable qualities in Tony before, but today,
Zacharias found his nephew a bit cute.
“I'm ignoring you guys. I'm going back to my room. Pretend I don’t exist. If you
want to act all lovey-dovey or sleep together, go ahead. I won't disturb you,” Tony
quickly went upstairs, genuinely afraid that Shirley would hit him.
Once Tony left, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a bit suggestive.
Zacharias looked at Shirley. “If you're still scared tonight, my room is always open
for you.”
“No, I'd rather go ghost hunting than sleep in your bed,” she retorted
nonchalantly.
Zacharias chuckled. “I didn’t expect you to know how to hunt ghosts, Miss Lloyd.
Impressive. But before you go to sleep, can you make me a cup of coffee? I still
have to work overtime.”
“Coffee at this hour? No wonder you have trouble sleeping. Relying on sleeping
pills daily isn't a solution either. How about switching to tea?” Shirley suggested.
Zacharias suddenly felt loved. He smiled and said, “Alright, I'll go with your
suggestion.”
He then went upstairs. She made him a cup of tea, carrying it to his study.
Watching the man put on his silver-framed glasses again, his air of nobility
seemed even stronger. She couldn't help but steal a few more glances before
leaving. When she got back to her room, her phone beeped. It was a message
from Imogen. “Shirley, sorry I didn’t see you in the car just now.
Shirley replied, “It's okay. If your injury isn’t healed, take a break for now!”
This minor injury is nothing. It seems like you have a good relationship with Mr.
Flintstone, Imogen inquired.
Shirley hesitated briefly. Aware of Imogen’s crush on Zacharias, Shirley found
herself uncertain about how to respond. Then, she stated, “I'm just ensuring his
safety during travels.’
Imogen sent another message. “Shirley, if you ever develop feelings for Mr.
Flintstone, you have to let me know. I won't feel burdened then.
Shirley sighed. She was unprepared for the conversation to take such a weighty
turn.
“Shirley, you said you wouldn't like Mr. Flintstone. Do you already have someone
you like?’ Imogen persisted in her questioning. Shirley truly didn’t know how to
answer Imogen’s question.
“It's okay, Shirley. There's certainly no chance for me and Mr. Flintstone, but you
have a chance! You and Mr. Flintstone make a great match.
